I’ve never been to WMC before. What should I pack?

Some of the events at WMC call for resort casual wear. Daytime resort attire for men can consist of polo shirts and shorts while evening resort attire would require nice slacks as well as polo or button-down shirts. Women can wear skirts, dresses, or sundresses. We recommend bringing a light wrap or sweater for the evenings as the temperature can dip slightly.

I want to sign up for a WMC exclusive tour, where can I do that?

We are working on finalizing all of the tours and details with our contacts on the Island. Once they become available an email to all registered attendees will go out with a link to book a tour(s). That link will also be sent to everyone who then registers for the conference to do the same.
